Li Kenong knew the serious situation in the northeast region, and after the meal, he asked Meng Qingshan to arrange for them to carry out their work as soon as possible, to carry out their work one day earlier, to find out the lawless elements in the base area one day earlier, and to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in the base area. The central cadres headed by Li Kenong and the intelligence department and the security department of the Northeast Military Region were combined into the intelligence department of the Northeast Military Region of the Northeast Military Region, with Li Kenong as the director, and the intelligence department was established a long time ago, but because a group of people in the Anti-Japanese Federation were all from a big and rough background, few people understood this thing, and the Japanese spies in the northeast were rampant, making it difficult for the intelligence department of the Anti-Japanese Military Region, so Meng Qingshan always asked the central authorities to send competent cadres to organize professionals to assist in the work.

Only Meng Qingshan and Li Fuchun were left in the whole room.

"Commander Meng, when we are in northern Shaanxi, we can always hear the good news you bring, received the news of your victory, the chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou and the commander-in-chief often praise your resourcefulness and erudition, today I finally see you in person, younger than I imagined, still spirited, this is the blessing of my party!"

"Minister Li, the leaders have won the award, I am still young, my knowledge is limited, my experience is shallow, my cultivation is insufficient, and I am easy to be impulsive, and I also need more guidance and support from your seniors in the future, so as to avoid me being arrogant and losing myself."

"Commander, you are too modest, you can grow in the base camp of the Japanese army with less than a company, and the current situation has been established in less than two years, and we are far from being able to make up for this alone. You must know that the generals in the center are very curious about you, and they really want to see what you have in your head. You must know that the people in our base area are praising you as the god of war. Invincible, invincible. ”

"Comrade Fuchun, you are praising me. I would be proud, this time I thought that the Central Committee would send some cadres with economic construction to work, but I did not expect that the Party Central Committee would actually send you here, which made me ecstatic. ”

"Commander, tell me about the current situation in the base area!"

"Okay, at present, we have only laid a framework for development in North Manchuria, after all, we are all soldiers, and we are not good at managing the local area and developing the economy, and the troops will go out at any time. There is no time for the development of the base area at all, but in the past few months, we have made some contact with Jiangbei, purchased some machinery and equipment with our stored gold, and built some factories such as steel mills, lumber yards, arsenals, and power plants, but these factories are only rudimentary and have not yet been completed, and these still have to rely on your experts in this field to take over the work, so that the economic construction of Beiman will continue to prosper and develop, and become the logistics base and talent base of our party and our army. ”

"Since most of our funds rely on seized and base gold mining, all the gold mined is used to buy the materials we need from Jiangbei. Therefore, at present, the funds of the armed forces are tight, and the limited funds must not only maintain the daily needs of the constantly expanding troops, but also invest a large amount of money in the military industry. The military industry, in particular, is simply a bottomless pit. There are even times in order to maintain military production. The living expenses of the troops are all scraped together, and in many cases only some basic living expenses can be allocated, and the number of troops is increasing at present. However, the financial management of the troops is not sound, and there are very few sources of income. Most of them have to rely on austerity policies as a last resort in the event of seizures. ”

After the establishment of the base area. Meng Qingshan clearly stipulated that all family members of the military who have husbands who receive an allowance of more than 7 yuan and who work in the clothing factory of the military region will not be entitled to the salary of 10 yuan per month for ordinary workers, but will only be given a living allowance of 3 yuan per month by the military region, and an additional living allowance of 1 yuan per month for each child who has children. Even if you undertake a technical job, you don't enjoy it.

Not only are military dependents who work in the clothing factory not paid allowances, but they also work in the arsenal, the only place in the Northeast Military Region that pays salaries and has the highest salary, even if you are an ordnance expert, you don't have a penny. Similarly, only three family allowances are paid.

Fortunately, among the current cadres of the army, singles account for the vast majority. A small number of people with family members are either far away in the customs or have long since lost their whereabouts. A small number of cadres from the Anti-Japanese Federation have family members, and most of them are illiterate. Either farming in the construction corps or working in a clothing factory with a relatively low salary. Basically did not work in the arsenal.

Otherwise, looking at the fact that his colleagues who are engaged in the same work as in the arsenal have a minimum salary of 17 yuan per month, and the highest salary of a skilled worker even reaches 30 yuan, I am afraid that many cadres will have a revolution in their families.

"Commander, when we entered the county, I found that there were many shops in the county, can we collect some commercial taxes to make up for our lack of funds?"

"Comrade Fuchun did not fail to think before that in the base area, in order not to kill chickens and take eggs, to ensure the enthusiasm of the people, and to stabilize the people's hearts, the agricultural tax collected will only be collected by 30% of the actual income, and all of it will be offset by grain. The excess is all purchased at the market price and using cash. However, our northern Manchurian population is sparsely populated, most of the people in the northeast are concentrated in the big cities, and the current majority of the people in our base areas have been rescued from the hands of devils, they have nothing, and the troops have to come up with a considerable amount of grain relief, but fortunately at the beginning of the year we set up a production and construction corps, and this year's autumn harvest of the little devils did not make trouble, and the grain we harvested was just what we consumedThe first two are resolutely not good, and the latter one consumes too much food, so now there are only some small industries and businesses in the base area, and secondly, we have also set up several merchant groups to sell the products of our base area to the enemy-occupied area, and merge and acquire the base area back, but due to the blockade of the Japanese army, this plan died before it began, and the most difficult thing is that we have no personnel in this area, and now the cadres in the area under the jurisdiction of the base area are all veterans who have retired from the army, and they may be a good hand at fighting. But let them develop the economy in vain. ”

"Commander, you can rest assured about this. The local cadres I brought with me this time were all cadres who had held various positions in the original base areas. I am very familiar with the work of local government. As long as you familiarize yourself with it, you can assign it now, and you can start working immediately. Regarding his local government work, Li Fuchun also said with a smile on his face.

"Good! In this case, let the comrades rest and rest first, and then when we return to Nenjiang County, you and Comrade Li Yanping will discuss and assign all personnel to carry out their work. After speaking, Meng Qingshan took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Li Fuchun.

Li Fuchun took the paper and saw that the first page read: Regulations on the Protection of Industrial and Commercial Enterprises of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army of the Communist Party of China:
